This Bangala is designed only for fish sales. It's located close to Jeddah harbor. Work hours start in the early morning for fresh fish where too many people gather to get these fresh fish, crab, shark, shrimp and other.
You can see the salespersons cut the fish, stuff them, or pack them. Interesting watch!
